'The deadliest threat America's ever faced': Mass-produced in China, trafficked from Puerto Rico and available online for just $1 a KILO ‐ why the flesh-rotting zombie drug 'tranq' has the DEA terrified
2023-07-21
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Xylazine, also known as 'tranq,' is a sedative often mixed with fentanyl

  • Manufactured from China and popular in Puerto Rico, it's now sweeping the US

  • Unlike fentanyl and other opioids - there is no antidote for overdoses, meaning taking too much xylazine can be a death sentence

#14  The "war on drugs" is all blather. It's like listening to both Trey Gowdy and Jim Jordan, because, as we know, the American people just loooove talk. Lots of talk. But action? I'm not so sure Americans have enough energy due to a lack of caloric intake.

#9  When I was an RA in college back in 1972 the big thing was PCP, another animal drug that was passed off as THC. Things certainly come around the circle.

#8  Wikipedia: Since the early 2000s, xylazine has become popular as a drug in the United States and Puerto Rico.[24] Xylazine's street name in Puerto Rico is anestesia de caballo, which translates to "horse anesthetic".

Maybe overdoses could be corrected with Ivermectin, Dr. Fauci?

#7  Getting even for flooding Chyna with opium back in the day, tho that was mostly Great Britain. Even if they aren't the most innovative culture, they can sure take an idea and run with it.

#5  I know its a much larger topic, but society as a whole has a serious problem with addiction. The longer I watch events the more convinced I am that the powers that be have no real interest in tackling addiction because of the role it plays in keeping the masses from breaking free of the matrix.
